About this Event

Los Angeles' dizzying array of attractions can easily overwhelm visitors and locals alike, but now there’s a better way to explore the city. Enjoy a glimpse of the history behind the most prestigious museums and discover sites better known for their part in international scandals. Peek into California's colonial past, visit sites from the golden age of film, or explore the urban legends surrounding the Black Dahlia. With tips from the best times to visit to where to park, experience the best of Los Angeles like a local. Join author Adam Papagan, experienced tour guide and true California character, for a tour of Los Angeles you’ll never forget. Using his book, Behind the Scenes in Los Angeles: A Pop Culture History Tour, Adam will lead a virtual tour of little known landmarks in close geographic proximity to where the events are taking place. He'll also share the research methods he uses to find the places most guidebooks leave out.

Museum, creator of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Tour and The Curb Your Enthusiasm Tour, co-host of the web series Dead in Hollywood, and has produced programs that have aired on community television stations nationwide. His new guidebook “Behind The Scenes in Los Angeles: A Pop Culture History Tour” draws on his decades plus experience as a Los Angeles tour guide.Reception with light snacks and beverages to follow.
